Caleb’s mom is totally Nus Braka’s wife (or whatever the equivalent,) right?

Rando Venari Ral: I know you, you’re…

Caleb’s Mom: hillary-assassin

Also 90% chance Caleb’s mom is gonna die. Sacrificing herself to save the federation, or Caleb or something. Her death solidifies his dedication to the federation to honor her sacrifice or whatever. Oh! Or, his second mom, space dumbledore dies. Only one mom. Sorry, I don’t make the rules.

      Spoiler for today’s episode.

      It was a total red herring and an emotional sacrifice. I’m glad I was wrong about him only getting to keep one mommy. I think that says a lot about how this start trek is leaning towards more optimistic. I kept waiting for his mom to get shot at the last minute. Lol. Pissed off about framing Nus Braka as a revolutionary though. Very fucking LIB What am I watching, Legend of Korra?

        Yeah. One of the federation flags has what was almost a hammer and sickle painted over it, before I reckon someone realised that would have been ridiculous given what the federation actually is.

        I liked seeing the mobile emitter so much. Best cameo I’ve seen in treck for years

          I really did wonder what the heck they were thinking. What vibes political education does to a mofo. Also I do wonder if the red herring was one writer thinking they had a plan and the other writer not following through because it was too predictable. It looks like both eps had different writers along with the producer.
